  • Presents groundbreaking research on how technology will transform the work, and relevancy, of professionals
  • Provides key insights for policymakers, professionals, and academics alike
  • Surveys the future challenges faced across a variety of sectors and industries, and the new opportunities these may bring

New to this Edition:

  • New and updated preface provides an overview of recent critical developments within the professions

    
This book predicts the decline of today's professions and introduces the people and systems that will replace them. In an internet-enhanced society, according to Richard Susskind and Daniel Susskind, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants, lawyers, and many others, to work as they did in the 20th century.
  
The Future of the Professions explains how increasingly capable technologies - from telepresence to artificial intelligence - will place the 'practical expertise' of the finest specialists at the fingertips of everyone, often at no or low cost and without face-to-face interaction.
  
The authors challenge the 'grand bargain' - the arrangement that grants various monopolies to today's professionals. They argue that our current professions are antiquated, opaque and no longer affordable, and that the expertise of their best is enjoyed only by a few. In their place, they propose five new models for producing and distributing expertise in society.
  
The book raises profound policy issues, not least about employment (they envisage a new generation of 'open-collared workers') and about control over online expertise (they warn of new 'gatekeepers') - in an era when machines become more capable than human beings at most tasks.
  
With a new preface exploring recent critical developments, this updated edition builds on the authors' groundbreaking research into more than a dozen professions. Illustrated with numerous examples from each, this is the first book to assess and question the relevance of the professions in the 21st century.

Review from previous edition 
"Perhaps the forthcoming tidal wave of technology set to engulf us all will throw up new opportunities for the legal profession — which is probably why just about every lawyer in London, so we are told, has bought a copy of this challenging, provocative, timely and important book. If you care about the future of your profession and wish to add further comment to the raging controversies surrounding it, better get yourself a copy now." - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richard Green Chambers
  

"In The Future of the Professions, father-and-son authors Richard and Daniel Susskind do a remorselessly effective job of demolishing the self-deception most people engage in when comparing themselves to machines." - Richard Waters, Financial Times
  

"The authors are undoubtedly right that the professions will change more in the next quarter-century than they have in the previous three." - The Economist
  

"Remarkable work." - Tom Watson, The Guardian
  

"This is a bold book ... The Future of the Professions helps us to recognise the professions' current methods as convoluted, self-serving rituals designed to wrap simple tasks in mystique." - Giles Wilkes, Prospect
  

"The Future of the Professions is a paradox that only a human mind could appreciate: the inevitable death of the professions is presented in an expert, original and witty work by two professionals whose skills (in thinking, writing and consultancy) are unlikely any time soon to be replicated by a machine." - David Pannick, The Times
  

"The Future of the Professions: How Technology Will Transform the Work of Human Experts, is a must read for anyone who wants to gain insights into where the legal profession is going ... Nothing else I have read more clearly and convincingly elucidates the future of legal services and how technology will transform the traditional practice of law." - Dan Pinnington, Slaw
  

"An act of delicious iconoclasm." - Prospect Magazine
  

"Both a good read and a good starter for strategic planning in professional firms" - Chris Yapp, Future Tech Blog
  

"I suggest that everyone who considers themselves 'professional' reads this book, especially those who are aged, say, 20-45, who need to secure their role in the new world of work. The authors predict that "our professions will be dismantled incrementally". If they are right, todays lawyers need to prepare for it, and the sooner the better." - Dan Bindman, Legal Futures
  

"A fascinating and challenging book." - Medium
  

"The study is exceptionally well informed and important contribution to thinking about the future of professional work" - Network Review
  

"As the saying is, the future is now and we ignore it at our peril. Please read this book." - Law Skills
  

"The book is written in a relaxed, flowing and easily-consumable style ... a read of The Future of the Professions is time very well-spent." - Jeremy Hopkins, Future of Law
  

"Everyone interested in the future well-being of society must read this thoroughly researched and compelling book - to understand how technology can and will be used to enable the public to do far more for themselves. In reshaping our system of justice so that it can more cost-effectively underpin our democratic society and its prosperity, I have had the benefit of the Susskinds core thesis how to use technology not simply to enable the legal professions to do better what they now do, but to reshape justice for the benefit of the public." - Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales
  

"If the Susskinds are right we are at the start of a social revolution. Technology has begun to transform social class, economic activity, political discourse, working life and the limits of human activity. In The Future of the Professions they relentlessly and unyieldingly but also entertainingly and elegantly set about proving their point. I started knowing that their argument was important, I finished convinced that it was right. This is a necessary book. It was necessary that it be written and necessary that you read it." - Daniel Finkelstein, The Times
  

"Impressive new book." - Edward Fennell, The Times
  

"I know of no better book for anyone interested in the future of skilled jobs and society. Drawing on an astounding range of sources and the latest research, The Future of the Professions offers vital insights into the unprecedented disruption facing all the professions." - Professor Ian Goldin, Professor of Globalisation and Development and Director of the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford
  

"In this magisterial survey Richard and Daniel Susskind demolish each profession's faith in its immutable uniqueness. Instead they trace inexorable and universal forces that will drive disintermediation, deconstruction and disruption. Written with scholarly thoroughness, this is an urgent manifesto and practical blueprint for the leaders of every professional firm." - Philip Evans, Senior Partner & BCG Fellow, The Boston Consulting Group
